COOKING-LAMP.

'EJPECIFIEATIOh? forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,825, dated September 30, 1884.

Application filed February 19, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that 1', HERMANN Lnncoson, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Gookand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Lamps, of which the following is aspecification, referones being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in alcohollamps. The object it has in view is to obtain a lamp for cooking and other purposes in which a more perfect and effective flame is obtained; and to that end it consists of the novel devices and combination of devices, as will be described and claimed.

Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan View; and Fig. 2, an elevation, partly in sec- Like letters refer tolike parts in each view.

A represents the alcohol-chamber, and B a suitable drip-cup mounted on the top thereof, and surrounding the opening through which the wick G is inserted into said chamberA.

G is a tubular wick, and is placed around a flaring collar, a, which at its lower end is sol dered or otherwise secured to a tube, D,within which is placed a wick, E. Tube D extends from a point near the bottom of chamber A up a short distance above the upper edge of drip-cup B, and to the upper end of said tube there is secured a cap, F, provided with perforations b, as sho Wu in Fig. 2. Se cured to the body of the lamp are a number of L'shaped supports, G, provided at their upper ends each with a groove or notch, C, Fig. 2, in which rest wires H, one of which is coiled around each support G, and the ends or which extend inwardly a sufficient distance 0 to form a rest for a cooking-vessel, I.

In Fig. 2 and in dotted lines I have shown a cap, J, which is used to extinguish thelight and prevent evaporation when the lamp is not in use.

The operation and manner of using my lamp is as follows: The wick G is lighted, and the flame therefrom, owing to its position around tube D, heats said tube and the wick E contained therein, whereby the alcohol elevatedj5o by said wick is vaporized, and the vapors, escaping through perforations 5 of cup F, are ignited by the flame from wick O, andaniore powerful and effective flame obtained. When it is desired to extinguish the flame, cap J is placed over the wicks,occupying the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2.

Vihat I claim is 1. The combination, with reservoir A and drip-cup B, of wick O, flaring collar a, tube D, wick E, and perforated cap F, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In the lamp described, the combination, with L-shaped supports G, grooved or notched ontheir upper ends, of wires H, wound around said supports and resting in the grooves or notches, and provided with inwardlyprojecting ends for supporting a cooking-vessel, as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in 7c presence of two witnesses.
